Scoreboard, India vs Australia, Under 19 World Cup, 2022
From: Gaurav Gupta, February 3, 2022: The Times of India


If the ICC Under-19 World Cup is all about a glimpse of the future stars, perhaps one saw two of them in action at Coolidge in Antigua. Rising to the occasion when it mattered the most, captain Yash Dhull (110, 110b, 10x4, 1x6) slammed a magnificent century, while his deputy Shaik Rasheed stroked 94 (107b, 8x4, 1x6) as the duo added 204 off 200 balls for the third wicket in their mammoth partnership to take India to an imposing 290 for five in 50 overs in their Under-19 World Cup semifinal against Australia.


Rescuing the team from a precarious 37 for two in the 13th over, the duo — who missed a couple of games in the league stage after being struck by Covid-19 but recovered in time for the knockouts — completely swung the course of the innings with their superb alliance.


After the duo was dismissed off successive balls in the 46th over, Dinesh Bana (20 not out, 4b, 2x4, 2x6) and Nishant Sindhu (12 not out, 10b, 1x4, 1x6) struck a few lusty blows to give the perfect finishing touches to the innings, taking 27 runs off the 50th over bowled by Tom Whitney, which included three sixes, as the duo added 31 in merely seven balls. Going hammer and tongs, a relentless India plundered 108 off the last 10 overs to gallop to a formidable total.


Playing with admirable responsibility, Dhull and Rasheed took their time to settle in, milking the spinners before tearing into the bowlers, leaving the Aussies completely rattled. Dhull is a boy of few words, but his bat spoke loud and clear. Possessing wrists of steel, Dhull seems to be having a penchant for the cut shot, which he plays really well. A delicate late cut off Jack Sinfield caught the eye. There was a touch of Virat Kohli in the Delhi lad’s batting too, as a straight drive off a spinner, which was executed in typical ‘whiplash’ fashion, a trademark of the former Indian captain, showed.


Having survived a simple run out chance earlier, Dhul’s luck ran out when he was eventually found short of the crease at the non-striker’s end as a Rashid stroke saw the ball kiss Jack Nisbet’s fingers before hitting the stumps.

Coming into his own later in his innings with some clean hitting, Rashid, who was unlucky to miss out on what would have been a well-deserved hundred when he was caught at point by Jack Sinfield off Nisbet, showed why he’s rated so highly. In six matches in the Under-19 Challenger Trophy, Rasheed has scored 376 runs @75. 00 for Andhra to ensure his selection for this tournament. A punched six to long on that he smashed off Jack Nisbet in the 44th over stood out, as he held onto the ‘pose’ in style after completing the delightful shot.

In a pathetic show in the field which is quite uncharacteristic for an Australian team, the Aussie fielders, made nervous by the Dhull and Rasheed’s dominating show, fumbled repeatedly. Lachlan Shaw dropped Rashid on 24 at short mid-wicket off Sinfield, and William Sallzmann, throwing the ball over the wicketkeeper, missed a simple chance to run out Dhull when the batsman was stranded in the middle of the pitch, while on 74. Whitney, who completely lost the plot in the final over of the in- nings, was the most expensive bowler for the Aussies, going wicketless for 74 in his nine overs.

In a surprising decision, Australia gave just two overs to the ambi- dextirous Nivethan Radhakrishnan, who’s of Indian origin.

Earlier, electing to bat first, India were off to an poor start, as both their openers Angkrish Raghuvanshi (6 off 30 balls) and Harnoor Singh (16 off 28 balls, 3x4) looked off-colour against the Aussie pacers, who, taking advantage of the early morning moisture, kept them on a leash.

Everything that Raj Bawa touched turned into gold on Saturday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Powered by a superb all-round show by the Chandigarh allrounder, who took five for 31 — the best-ever figures ever in U-19 World Cup finals — and then chipped in with 35 (54b, 2x4, 1x6) in a match-winning 67-run stand for the fifth wicket in 88 balls with Nishant Sindhu (50 not out, 54b, 5x4, 1x6), India overcame a grand fightback by England to win a thrilling final by four wickets and clinch the 2022 Under-19 World Cup. 
Chasing 190, India slipped to 97 for four in the 29th over, having lost the wickets of Angkrish Raghuvanshi (0), Harnoor Singh (21), Shaik Rasheed (50, 84b, 6x4), and skipper Yash Dhull (17), before Sindhu, who hit a brilliant half-century under pressure, and Bawa joined forces to take India closer to the target. Bawa and Kaushal Tambe’s wickets gave England some hope, but Sindhu kept his nerves to guide India home in the 48th over. 
Wicketkeeper-bat Dinesh Bana smashed James Sales for two consecutive sixes to trigger celebrations in the Indian camp — which included batting legend VVS Laxman — for what was their fifth triumph in this competition. India’s dominating run in the ICC under-19 World Cups continues. The triumph also marked the culmination of a successful run for

Dhull & Co. which saw them win eight successive games and win two titles in two continents — the Asia Cup in UAE, and then the U-19 World Cup in the West Indies.

Fired by a superb opening burst from Bawa and Ravi Kumar (4-34 in 9 overs), India seemed to be running away with the trophy, having reduced England to 61 for six in the 17th over and then 91 for seven in the 25th over, before James Rew almost single-handedly scripted England’s fightback with his gallant knock which took his team to a respectable 189 in 44. 5 overs.

Rew’s lion-hearted 95 (116b, 12x4) and his magnificent 93-run partnership in 112 balls for the eight wicket with James Sales (34 not out, 65b, 2x4) brought England back from the dead against an initially rampaging India.

At one point, with India all over them, England, who chose to bat first, looked like they wouldn’t post even 125, but Rew’s excellent knock — it is difficult to believe that this was his first half-century in the Under-19 World Cup — and his fighting partnership with Sales ensured that they had at least something to challenge India.

After an excellent first spell by Bawa which read 7-1-19-4, skipper Dhull employ his spinners, who, for a change, were disappointing. Left-arm spinner Vicky Ostwal — India’s highest wicket-taker in the tournament — went wicketless for 31 in his six overs as Rew swept and reverse swept him and the other tweakers. In the end, though, it didn’t matter.
